.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A long period northerly swell will continue to spread across the
islands through early this week, resulting in hazardous seas for the
Atlantic waters and local passages. Another tropical wave will move
into the Caribbean by late tonight, moving mainly to the south of the
USVI and PR through Tuesday. This will result in moderate to fresh
easterly winds and choppy to rough seas, particularly across the
Caribbean waters.
